There were many things that info was not comprehended nor offered correctly up to about 20 minutes when I stopped. A BA degree University of Washington '64, Master of Photographic Arts (MPA) with 33 years (retired now 20 years) as a professional photographer. Do I have experience? Yes 10 years at Community college. However, just like in Grade one all the students needed to be taught how to read and not just given a book and had teacher say 'go play with the book an you will figure it out'. If that was all that was required, no one would need to look at YT tutorial videos at all. It is not Ok to simply say 'well you play with it'. I am not trying to be mean but am trying to impress upon you that before doing a video, you need to learn how to use ALL aspect of the program for which you wish to educate others. I have never given a thumbs down on any video of any sort before today. Unfortunately and sadly this is still the case. I watch innumerable numbers of videos related to Affinity Photo, ON1, Luminar4 and others and had hoped to learn from a tutorial creator more about PhotoScape X as unfortunately the videos by the creators of PSX don't offer very good one.

Collins I have to agree with Rick, Nathan. The suggestions here will only make your videos more compelling. Anyway, don't let the constructive criticism get you down. You can accomplish a lot of the same layering functions as you could in say, Gimp, but it's not as comprehensive and it's done in a very unusual way. As regards to the previously mentioned 'proper capability of the use of layers', yeah it's an unusual approach Photoscape takes with this. (ex: Do a youtube search for 'Cutout Mask - PhotoScape X 2.7'). Also, the short online videos provided by Photoscape can be rather useful if you haven't looked into them.

That said, being a hobbyist, I do find Photoscape more enjoyable to use than some of the more complex editors that use terminology that only a professional photographer would understand. An in-depth understanding and explanation of each of the extra features would help us decide if it's capabilities stack up against other software in the price range, of which there are now quite a few. I appreciate you showing us the menus in Pro's version of the software, however this probably would have been better done as a multi-part series of videos.
